About a month ago I installed the Bilstein leveling kit with shocks on my 2015 Ram 2500. Ever since then I have a pretty bad vibration between 70-80mph. I also installed 35" Duratracs at the same time. I thought maybe the tires were the problem but I switched back to my previous tires and still had the issue. I ended up putting the 35's back on since my older tires were getting worn. I have had it aligned with both sets of tires, had both sets of tires balanced twice and still have the issue. Any ideas on what's causing the vibration? I know when I installed a lift kit on my old Jeep the difference in the angle of the transfer case and the front drive shaft caused a bad vibration. Could this be the same thing?

What was in the Bilstein kit?
What parts did you change.

New shocks all the way around and springs in the front.

I suppose you could pull the front shaft and go for a test drive to see if the vibration goes away. But I highly doubt it is now at too much of an angle with just a leveling kit... theres zillions of people running leveling kits and 3-4+ inch lift kits using the stock front driveline with no issues. I have my power wagon leveled with no vibration issues.

I highly doubt anything in the kit or your added height is causing your vibration. I would guess tires, but sounds like you have already trial and errored those.
